The SUPERCHARGER by CowboyGoggles

I suppose I was wearing my heart on my sleeve a bit there.
I posted a link to the power analyzer, which is the main component here. the charging boards were extracted from unused e-cig chargers in my parts bin, and the power supply was a sony one from a PSP charger. all parts that I used were taken from the most convenient sources, but could be found and sourced from many different places.

I didn't think to include this information because most ppl have no need for a device like this.
It was custom-made to meet the needs of the proprietor of a local vape-shop. If I had made one for myself, I would not have included all of these features.

his questions felt more like an interrogation. Total BUZZKILL

All I wanted to illustrate in the post was the ability to use this $50 analyzer to do a vaping-related task.

they put the computer into service today in the store and found that it wouldn't charge one battery type, and may require a third even lower-powered charging board. in the 130mA range. I personally tested a Volt 808 battery rated 350mAh and it charged to 317, but this could be accurate considering the efficiency of that battery at it's age(about a year old). I charged a 1100mAh ego battery to test the other board and found that its real capacity was 997mAh. still not a bad battery(new-only cycled twice), and the capacity of the cell may actually be 1100mAh, but it would not be good for the battery to discharge it completely.

My theory about this is that the usable capacity of a cell is only about 75-85% of the advertised rating.
We are unable to reap the benefits of those last bits of juice in the interest of protecting the life of the cell.
Good to know.

how are things in Dothan?
my mother lives in Midland City.

oh, and if you see a skinny guy riding a motorized Columbia Cruiser on the Ross Clark circle, I built that too.

Fair enough, you are correct with not many people uing this for a daily use except for people with multiple battery types. I have used a charging circuit from a Duracell rechargable battery pack and have not found a battery I could not charge with it, have even charged disposables with it. Seems strange that a 200ma would baulk at charging any battery, even the bigger ones, just would be slower.
Dothan is fine, they are constantly building down here, your mom vape? Will keep a look out for a skinny guy on a motorized Columbia Cruiser

Dear CowboyGoggles, I did not mean any offence. If you post something in modding forum, better to put complete information about your system, otherwise this post is not informative. You should always consider that someone will try to copy your mod and needs all information.
